Possible yes, but not logistically trivial, and that would just give the US government an even better reason to start seizing those funds. The black market would also be likely to take a huge cut out of those funds, meaning that in any case the cash flow to Mexico would slow down significantly.
From the point of view of the Mexican government, probably better to pay for the wall.

And who is setup perfectly to help money come into mexico via the black market? The drug cartels.

True, but again for the Mexican government it would be better to pay for that wall than to let this happen.
All Trump needs is a big enough threat to make it easier for Mexico to pay for the wall. This is big enough, and not likely to hurt the US economy in a way that Trump would care about.
